Tu Bufan targeted Wang Yue for two reasons: firstly, due to the rivalry between him and Tu Jiao, and secondly, he simply disliked the young man.
Was he more handsome than me?
This was absolutely intolerable.
As for Wang Yue being a divine doctor?
To Tu Bufan, it sounded like a joke.
Divine doctors weren't common cabbage.
From what he knew, no one could be considered a divine doctor without being over sixty years old.
Yet, in the face of Tu Bufan's insults,
Wang Yue wasn't angry; instead, his face was beaming with joy.
This was because the system had just come back to life.
"As the man bound to this system, you cannot allow others to belittle or insult you. A mission is now issued: severely slap Tu Bufan. The final reward will be determined by the severity of the face-slapping! The harder you slap, the more generous the reward."
This was the second mission the system had given him.
The first was to apprehend that fugitive.
So, Wang Yue was very happy. He was already planning how to achieve the greatest possible humiliation for this annoying man.
"Tu Bufan! If you continue to insult the doctor I brought, don't blame me for being impolite."
Tu Jiao was angry.
She didn't even call him Third Brother anymore.
"Oh dear, our little princess is getting angry. For an outsider, you're turning against your own brother?!"
Tu Bufan's handsome face contorted into a savage expression: "They say married women are like spilled water. After this lover of yours pleased you, you can forget about blood relations, can you?"
"Grandpa is lying in bed gravely ill, and instead of diligently finding him a doctor, you're bringing your lover here to cause trouble! Do you really think Grandpa's body can withstand your recklessness?"
"To put it bluntly, Tu Jiao, you are not worthy of being called a Tu!"
Tu Bufan stood on the moral high ground, vehemently denouncing Tu Jiao.
The people present also began to whisper amongst themselves.
"Tu Jiao is indeed a bit too pampered. Compared to Tu Jiao, Bufan is too concerned about the old man's illness, running around tirelessly, and even invited an old divine doctor from the Valley of Medicine Gods."
"Tu Jiao's private life is usually decadent, but to do such a ridiculous thing when the old man is gravely ill, it shows she doesn't consider herself a Tu at all."
"Alas, a misfortune for the family!"
Hearing the discussions around him,
Tu Jiao's face turned pale, but she was powerless to argue.
No matter how much she explained, these people wouldn't believe her.
Prejudice is a mountain.
Her only hope now was for Wang Yue to cure the old man, and thus prove that she wasn't just messing around.
"Kid, you've been told this much, aren't you going to scram?"
Tu Bufan said condescendingly.
He didn't even spare Wang Yue a proper glance.
Under everyone's watchful eyes,
Wang Yue chuckled, a loud, hearty laugh: "Hahaha."
"What are you laughing at?"
Tu Bufan said angrily, "Making such a loud noise here, don't blame me if I break your legs and throw you out!"
"I'm laughing at you! Laughing at your ignorance, your arrogance. I've heard of the Tu family's great name, but seeing you today is deeply disappointing. Is this how you treat guests?"
Wang Yue snorted coldly, "In front of me, an outsider, you can freely attack your own sister. You truly have no shame!"
"How dare you insult me?"
Tu Bufan's eyes widened, his breathing becoming somewhat labored.
When had he ever been insulted like this before?
No matter where he went, he was always held in high esteem.
Being cursed at like this, with someone pointing fingers at him, was a first.
This brat was truly audacious!
"You can insult me, but I can't insult you?"
Wang Yue said with a cold laugh, "If not for the halo of being a young master of the Tu family, you wouldn't even be as good as the stray yellow dog guarding the gate of our school."
Tu Bufan felt blood rush to his head. Being cursed at, to his face, as being inferior to a dog was an unimaginable insult!
"I think you're looking for death!"
Tu Bufan exploded in rage and lunged forward, intending to slap Wang Yue.
But Tu Jiao grabbed Tu Bufan's hand.
"Tu Bufan, that's enough!"
Tu Jiao said coldly.
"Even now, you're still protecting this scoundrel? Didn't you hear how he just insulted me?!"
Tu Bufan roared.
"You insulted me first, and I think we're even."
Tu Jiao replied.
"Hahaha..."
Tu Bufan burst into manic laughter: "Well said, we're even. What's my status, and what's his? If I don't cripple this brat today, then my name isn't Tu Bufan!"
"Li Yi!"
"Yes!"
A burly man with a powerful build emerged from the crowd.
This man was 190 cm tall, with arms thicker than Wang Yue's thighs. His eyes were sharp, clearly indicating he was a formidable individual.
"Break this brat's legs."
Tu Bufan commanded coldly.
"Understood."
Li Yi nodded and walked towards Wang Yue.
"Li Yi, how dare you! This is the person I invited to treat Grandpa."
Tu Jiao's face changed drastically.
"My apologies, Miss Tu, I only take orders from Third Young Master."
Li Yi said, continuing his advance towards Wang Yue.
"Tian Yi, stop him!"
Tu Jiao quickly instructed.
Tian Yi's expression was playful: "Junior sister, this is your family matter. Master said not to meddle blindly."
Tu Jiao tried to step in front of Wang Yue.
But Tu Bufan pulled her back with a swift motion.
"Hahaha, just watch. This is the consequence of offending me!"
Tu Bufan let out a triumphant laugh.
No one stepped forward to intervene. In the eyes of the crowd, Wang Yue was merely an outsider.
And moreover, an arrogant outsider.
Li Yi walked towards Wang Yue with a cold expression and threw a punch at Wang Yue's face.
The punch was incredibly powerful, even producing a whistling sound through the air, indicating it was thrown with full force.
"Sigh."
Wang Yue sighed.
He had just come to help someone see a doctor, and already they were about to fight without a word.
"Regret it? Too late!"
Tu Bufan shouted excitedly.
"Bang!"
But in the next second, Wang Yue, moving faster, met Li Yi's punch with his own.
Li Yi's face contorted in shock. He retreated seven or eight steps before dissipating the terrifying force.
His right hand trembled slightly, and he couldn't muster any strength.
Li Yi's expression was one of horror. This young man possessed such terrifying strength!
"Still want to fight?"
Wang Yue asked with a smile.
"Fight!"
Li Yi gritted his teeth and charged forward again.
He couldn't admit defeat; he had just been caught off guard! No matter how strong his power, fighting required technique.
Although his right hand was weakened, Li Yi's leg techniques were his most potent. He was confident he could defeat Wang Yue!
Facing Li Yi's renewed charge,
Wang Yue also moved forward.
If they wanted to fight, then let's fight!
Otherwise, everyone would think he was a pushover, someone they could easily manipulate.
As the two made contact,
Before Li Yi could even raise his leg, he was struck.
With a muffled groan, he was sent flying like a sack of rags.
"Bang!"
Li Yi crashed heavily to the ground, and the scene fell into stunned silence.
